This is the fascinating story of how the West has adopted an ancient Asian art form, called 'stone appreciation’: finding natural stones in rivers or the desert with interesting shapes and textures, then mounting them on carved wooden stands. Filmed in California at the Huntington Library Japanese and Chinese Gardens, on the Kern River and in the Yuha Desert. Also filmed with experts in Germany.
